WAC 504-15-810

Violations, fines, and sanctions.

(1) Violations and fines. Parking violations are processed by the university. Fines must be paid at the parking department or at other authorized locations, by mail, or from the parking department's web site. Schedules for parking violations, fines, and sanctions are posted in the public area of the parking department office and on the parking department's web site.

(2) Reduction of fines. Internal policies regarding disposition of parking tickets may be established on approval of the vice-president or designee whose responsibilities include supervision of the parking department.

(3) Payment of parking fines.

(a) All parking fines and fees are due upon issuance. Thirty days after date of issuance, a late fee shall be added to all unpaid parking fines. For example, a parking ticket issued on May 1 would be assessed a late fee on May 31.

(b) Parking fines and fees assessed for any violation results in referral to the university controller's office for collection. The controller or designee may, if other collection efforts fail, withhold the amount of the outstanding fines and fees from damage deposits or other funds held for any student in order to secure payment. Where collection efforts are unsuccessful, the controller or designee may notify the registrar to refrain from issuing student transcripts or to withhold permission to reenroll for a subsequent term until outstanding fines and fees are paid. The procedures discussed above are not exclusive, however, and failure by anyone to pay fines and fees may also lead to towing or use of the wheel lock device described in these regulations. Nor are the procedures discussed above a precondition to towing or use of the wheel lock.

(4) Failure to pay fines. Failure to pay a fine or comply with other penalties assessed pursuant to these regulations, and exhausting or failing to exercise appeals provided for in these regulations, may result in the inability to renew a vehicle license through the state pursuant to RCW 46.16.216.
